-Kasumi- Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 So lately I've been having issues with the game where my frames would stutter in game. No matter where I go I wold get a 10 fps drop or increase every half second, which causes my frames to stutter and making the game very irritating. I can't seem to get to the root of the problem within warframe settings. and that is bothering me. My specs: i7, OC to 3.14 GTX 660 Ti (not overclocked because for some reason the game crashes, latest drivers) 16GB RAM My temps: 50C for GPU max 42C for CPU max It can't be my hardware because I can easily run current games with overclock and max settings with absolutely no issues. So what am I doing wrong? Why does warframe, and only warframe, jump up and down in FPS causing stutter in all missions? (also have been hitting 25 FPS in the last wave of T3Defense. Which with my setup should not happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkWithALaserBeam Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 check the evolution.exe engine cpu usage. i recently have been using game booster to play warframe which gives me more frames, not sure you can try that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Kasumi- Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 The issue is that I should not need to use gamebooster due to my processing power as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkWithALaserBeam Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 no i say this because i run on a low tier laptop at 10 frames on the lowest settings possible. Game always hits 100% cpu usage, but when i run gamebooster my cpu usage for waframe reduced to 30-40ms which is still bad but now i run more frames. Not sure if your drivers need an update or what. Just some help sorry for your inconvenience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Kasumi- Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 I just reinstalled my graphics drivers. Still no idea what my issue is. Borderless did not help. I'm going to see about messing around with vsync. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KvotheTheArcane1 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 (edited) Same problem, happened to me mid 11.5.8, one day I'm getting 50-60 FPS, next day I can't use my phased items and my FPS is ~20 if I'm lucky (but normally is at ~10, maybe 15 if there is anything really happening) edit: I assume you've also sent in a support ticket too?

Gentlemoa Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 (edited) So what am I doing wrong? Why does warframe, and only warframe, jump up and down in FPS causing stutter in all missions? (also have been hitting 25 FPS in the last wave of T3Defense. Which with my setup should not happen. I got a I5 2500k @ 4.3Ghz 8GB DDR3-1600 a GTX 680 and i have similar problems with the game. Especially in the Void or Wreck Missions i get alot of FPS drops from around 80-120 down to 38-55. Most of the time this happens when a lot of action is happening, but the FPS stay so low even if everything is quiet again. Sometimes the fps will rise back to 80-120+ again but sometimes they stay so low until the mission ends. My CPU load goes from 40-60% but not higher. GPU is always at around 90-100% because i dont use vsynch. Btw it doesn't matter if i enable or disable physx. the drops still occur.

-Kasumi- Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 No haven't sent one in yet because I don't get what the issue is. After doing a lot of testing and such I have some settings that lessened my issue. WARFRAME: 32 bit mode, multi threaded rendering on, XD11 off nVidia CPannel: Pre rendered frame max is at 4, texture filtering is on performance, high performance didn't help. tiple buffering is off. Those are some that helped but did not stop the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightmareT12 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 (edited) Maybe reinstalling the last iteration of drivers before this month's release? I do have an i5 and a GTX 660, no major issues, and all of a sudden I start getting those stutters as well. So it's either, the Update or the Drivers update. BTW, PhysX also seem to stutter my game wheras they didn't before (sometimes, in really isolated cases, they did -- now it's quite frequent). EDIT: Seems like most people have started having issues since the last Hotfix, hmm... Edited January 10, 2014 by NightmareT12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Kasumi- Posted January 11, 2014 Author Share Posted January 11, 2014 (edited) Can we get an optimization patch please? I don't need new content if I can't play the game smoothly. Also, this may be worth noting, it's at it's worse on phobos. I'll test some other planets later on when i get a chance.

AbsolutionZero Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I've had the same problem since U11.5. My specs are similar to yours, but I doubt that it's a hardware problem. Something went wrong within these recent updates; I'm assuming becuse these stutters have only started as of late. They're incredibly annoying and definitely ruin some good shots, especially when you have enemies in your sights. I also agree that we need some optimization or at least a fix for this. Powerful Machine Should = Flawless Performance. Instead, Powerful Machine = Crappy performance. It doesn't make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharpShotApollo Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I've definitely noticed this happening recently. Game ran fine until a recent hotfix. Glad it's not just me, but would like a fix soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Kasumi- Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 So, DE got back to me and told me to defrag and verify game cache, I have tried them, but I will try again, see if that helps because the latest patch made the game run so badly that I refuse to play it. I'll do some more testing with settings as well, and I'll come back and report my findings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YAAAATZY Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 So, DE got back to me and told me to defrag and verify game cache, I have tried them, but I will try again, see if that helps because the latest patch made the game run so badly that I refuse to play it. I'll do some more testing with settings as well, and I'll come back and report my findings. It think it's a problem caused by the game itself. I too have a high end computer and running everything on max with 1920x1080 resolution with +60 fps, but at some maps it drops to a freaking slideshow. All I do is wait about 10 seconds and then everything runs smoothly again. It's annoying as hell but I havn't found any solution to this so far. All you can do is wait for DE to fix their current bugs and hope it will be done in the near future. They basically have a standard response for all problems, so it seems at least. Defrag, verify, update your drivers etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noensard Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Same here, even in menu my game freezes for a quarter of second every couple of seconds. Played since cbt without any issues until today. i5 3570k 8gb ram Radeon 7970ghz ssd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beatwapz Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Quick update for me: I have had now a full 1 minute game freeze then have it respond now.All my drives are healthy and defragged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Kasumi- Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 Well, what fixed my issue was keeping Dx11 off and verify/defrag download cache in the launcher. It helped a bunch, running much smoother. Although the steam version does have a bit of a microfreeze every so often. Now to figure out this Dx11 and my overclock incompatibility.

Wolfcau Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Ah hah, non-Steam version is a bit better about it? Will have to try that. Gonna miss the overlay, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Kasumi- Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 It's not by a whole lot, but still there. You couldn't use the overlay in 64 bit mode anyway, which is a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfcau Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 You can use overlay as long as you don't enable both 64-bit mode and DX11. Admitted, DX11 is probably more important than 64-bit mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Kasumi- Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 Didn't even notice that. Interesting. Wonder if DE is aware of that, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfcau Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 (edited) Latest patch appears to have fixed it for me, thank goodness. Hooray for Redtext. UPDATE: NOPE, never mind. Back to random freezes, even in the arsenal. Edited January 19, 2014 by Bahustard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfcau Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 (edited) Okay, took a few minutes to collect my findings so far. The game is, quite reliably, suffering from constant freezes after maybe 5-15 minutes of playing. I can't find any real pattern, but once it starts happening, it happens 2-5 times a minute, freezing for maybe 1-2 seconds each time. CPU and RAM usage look normal whenever it's not frozen. During every freeze, all my cores peg at 100%. Naturally, this only happens in Warframe. Everything is up to date, download cache has been defragged and verified more times than I can readily count. Interestingly, all four cores peg at 100% even if I have the affinity for Warframe's process set to only 1-3. This might imply something else going on, but I have been unable to narrow it down beyond that. The problem started happening sometime during Cicero, but I couldn't tell you specifically which part of it. I have adjusted every single display-related and launcher-related option. Resolutions have been changed. Windowed mode has been tested. Individual settings have been flicked on and off. DX11 and 64-bit mode and even multi-core rendering have been toggled. No change in the behavior at any point. Video drivers were changed, programs have been killed out, the non-Steam version has been tried, the process repeated on that one. I cannot find any switches left on the program to flip to try and make the hurting stop. Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bitIntel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4 GHz4 GB RAMeVGA GeForce GTX 660 Ti (this matches the OP, and Gentlemoa later in the thread, for whatever that's worth. Beatwapz reports a GTX 690, so i'm starting to wonder about this series)No recent changes to any hardware or software.

-Kasumi- Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 Have you ran an antimalware/virus scan recently? Like a full scan with something other than what came stock on your win8? Also, could some auto update app be causing this random cpu spike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
